DZone Trend Report

APRIL 2022

Enterprise Application Integration

As with most 2022 trends in the development world, discussions around
integration focus on the same topic: speed. In DZone’s Enterprise Application
Integration Trend Report, we will explore the common integration patterns and
anti-patterns, the impact on overall operational efficiency, and the common
practices that help an enterprise scale.

We will also dive into the exploration of integration distributed applications, how
query languages like GraphQL help speed up APIs, when to use cloud-based
integration platforms versus on-premise models, and more.
